There's a sticky on the top of BO page "How to find answers to most technical questions" or the "FAQ" sticky. That should help with the pic download question.
Then post pics cause we are visual creatures.
That's a fun mod cuz it's cheap and looks real cool. Now everyone behind me knows there behind a Triumph.

Thumbs up paint pen

i used Elmers painters pen i bought at craft store 'cause walmart was out.
I used a fine tip but, thought I should've used ultra fine after i started. remember to put the cap back on before you decide shake up the paint a little and watch the pen closely at one point the paint just started pour out and cleaning up a bobo is not cool heres a pic of the actual pen i used. oh yeah the color of the cap and the gold color of the paint dont even match. so just take your time put on some cool tunes and have blast.painted my seat logo-paint-pen.jpg

Sounds like a good story for the "Don't you just hate it when.." topic in Twins Hang Out.

Adolfo,
Good job considering you don't have the raised embossed letters (whole nother thread). Mine doesn't either and you did a neater job than I did. Next time I follow directions and have at least 2 beers before starting.

Looks good...I used a "Sharpie" paint pen when I did mine...Now go color in the Triumph logo on the clamp on your handlebars too!
